Optimum Reliability in Motion Control Units INDEXING DRIVES

AD Alpha Series Dial Index Description Sankyo's AD/Alpha Series features a low profile design cast iron housing with a ground pilot flange for mounting dial plates, hub less gears, or weldment fixtures. Above the indexing dial, a second dial mounting surface is stationary and hollow to allow air lines, wiring or bearings for a shaft to be routed through the tolerance bore. A globoidal cam rotates Sankyo made needle bearing type cam followers. Optimizing the cam follower diameter inherently maximizes torque transfer and extends the life hours due to fewer rotations with increased surface...

AD/Alpha Series Dial Index Stationary Output Flange Riser Option This option is used if part handlers or measurement equipment are required to be mounted above the rotary indexing dial. The riser is flanged on both ends and offered in multiple lengths with a slightly smaller hollow bore than the index bore. Each riser incorporates a tolerance male centering pilot on the index output flange and for the dial plate or fixture mounting flange. The riser is mounted to the index output flange with (4) bolts and also includes the grease fitting to be extended for easy access. Standard units are...

AD/Alpha Series Dial Index Gearmotor Drive Mounting All of our Alpha index units have two gearmotor sizes. On some models, the input shaft diameter also changes with each motor size. The smaller motors are usually within the height of the index and no mounting interference occurs with the bottom of the dial or the housing mounting feet. The output clutch also serves as a spacer to enhance dial clearance. If the TAD output torque limiting clutch is not used, interference may occur with the bottom of the dial in the standard mounting position-1 as shown below. As an option, the gearmotor...

Dial Index Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) Controller Option Stopping indexing units can be accomplished many different ways. Sankyo chooses the VFD controllers because they are maintenance free and no residual brake dust contamination. Some advantages of using this type of controller are frequent stop/starting cycles, multi patterned speed ramps, electronic braking, varying speed on the fly and motor protection. Preset speeds for jog setup or emergency stop recovery are valuable to minimize damage to the machine tooling and indexing unit. Brake motors can be used in conjunction with the VFD...
